Background

The CCC Lerdo power station is one of several new combined cycle power projects that were initiated during the six-year term of Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018-2024). The project is located adjacent to the currently operating Guadalupe Victoria power station in Lerdo, Durango state, Mexico.

Early estimates of the project's gross capacity ranged widely, from 455 megwatts (MW)[16][17] up to 990 MW.[18][19][20] More recent official government assessments of the plant's capacity have ranged from 350 MW[21] to 363 MW[21][22] to 409 MW[23]

Various sources in 2021 and 2022 listed the Lerdo / Norte IV plant as an active project[24][25][26], with expected start-up dates ranging from 2023[12][13] to 2027.[14]

Construction got underway in April 2022[21] and was expected to be completed by August 2024.[21][22] However, the project was said to be only 65.93% complete as of Dec 31, 2023[21], and 89.33% complete by September 2024[22], with worker protests delaying progress.[27]

A September 2024 Mexican government report acknowledged that the plant's construction was running significantly behind schedule, and that test operations would still be required once construction was complete.[22] A separate government report indicated that key transmission, grid connection, and reinforcement infrastructure associated with the plant was still under construction and would not be ready until March 2025, implying that commercial operations would almost certainly be delayed beyond that date.[28]
